World Series of Poker* Europe 2007 at Bodog

WSOP Europe Main Event in London, England

The Event

On August 19 2007, six lucky players won a seat with Team Bodog to the World Series of Poker* Europe Main Event in London, England. The buy-in was £10,350 - over $20,000 USD. The six winners received a VIP prize package that included not only the buy-in, but a return flight to London on British Airways or Virgin, a 10-night stay at a 5-star luxury hotel, spending money, and high-end car service to whisk them around the capital.

Awaiting WSOP* Europe players was a hefty prize pool of £7,500,000. With a World Series gold bracelet up for grabs and a limit of 750 competitors in the Main Event, many of the world's top pros registered for the tournament.

This year Bodog is sending two players to the World Series Europe - keep tabs on their progress at the 2008 Europe Main Event.

Team Bodog take on London

After battling it out in the World Series Europe Main Event, Team Bodog secured a fantastic third place finish! Meet all seven members who tore up the felt in London.

	Matt McCullough "mattboom" - Cherry Hill, NJ An impressive third place finish in the WSOPE Main Event meant a win of £381,910 (approximately $760,000) for this 33-year-old New Jersey native's first big live tournament. McCullough beat off competition to be the last American standing, busting out pros Phil Hellmuth and Gus Hansen. A far cry from his day job as a nurse anesthetist!
	Matt Larsh "thatsNice" – Oklahoma City, OK This 24-year-old experienced a really bad beat to end his Day 3 run but he outlasted hundreds of the best poker players in the world, narrowly missing the bubble. Not bad for someone who's been tearing it up on Bodog Poker - recently winning two Player's Choice prize packages.
	Daniel Zink "Spiderpig" – Bochum, Germany World-class card player Zink outlasted 290 players before a brutal turn card sent him to the sidelines to cheer on his teammates. At 22, and already World Champion in Magic the Gathering, Zink's got his work cut out for him.
	Atanas Gueorguiev "naskoxx" – Sofia, Bulgaria A seasoned European player, Gueorguiev warmed up for the WSOPE by competing in the EPT Barcelona. He made it through to Day 2 in London, battling a star-studded field that included Annie Duke, Annette Obrestad and Erick Lindgren.
	Jason Karka "3rdEyeSqueegee" – Manvel, TX This 31-year-old electrical engineer had the toughest table draws over two days of the tournament. His first day with Gus Hansen, Jeffrey Lisandro and Greg Raymer was followed by Annie Duke and Paul Wasicka. His proudest moment? Getting Annie to fold.
	Heather Wells "H2Bling" – Carlsbad, CA Bling-loving entrepreneur and model, Wells didn't make it past Day 1. Along with Bodog Poker Pro David Williams, she had a run of bad cards but did however almost rival Matt McCullough with the attention she received from the press. Cheering her on from the sidelines were her husband - a Team Bodog member from the Vegas World Series - and her 5-month-old baby.
	Andrew Dickens – London, England After playing live poker only four times in his life, Dickens reckons it was the masterclass with David Williams on the morning of play that saw this writer outlast several pros and make it through to Day 2.
